Download or read book The Hip Pocket Guide to Offbeat Wisdom written by William Sauer and published by . This book was released on 2005-11-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Hip Pocket Guide to Offbeat Wisdom" is an anthology of succinct and profound quotations ranging from Popeye to Picasso, from Johnny Rotten to Jesus. The quotes have been chosen and arranged very deliberately to best play off, amplify, and inform each other. The quotes in this collection may or may not reflect the author's temperament, with its eastern influenced mysticism, Germanic penchant for deep thought, and slightly off-center sensibility. These collected quotations are wonderful in many ways - as intellectual chewing gum, as idea-and-reflection-generators, and as conversational Tabasco.

Download or read book Pocket Full of Rain written by Jason and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2008-07-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multifaceted anthology collects over 25 stories from the first decade of Jason's career, including his remarkable calling card, the novella-length thriller "Pocket Full of Rain," which has never before been published in English. Like a number of his initial stories, "Pocket" is actually drawn with realistic human beings instead of blank-faced animal characters - a true revelation for Jason fans. In fact, this book showcases three distinct styles: his earliest "realistic" drawing style an intermediate "bighead" cartoony style that still features humans, and the "funny-animal" style for which he's now best known. The book reveals a young cartoonist experimenting with styles, working through his obsessions (love, loneliness, film, Hemingway) and paying tribute to his cartooning heroes (Wolverton, Moebius, Pratt). Also, croquet-playing nuns, sentient cacti, autobiographical drunken escapades, lists of people who deserve to die, and a color gallery featuring God cheating at Trivial Pursuit.

Download or read book Guide to Western Mushrooms written by J. E. Underhill and published by North Vancouver, B.C. : Hancock House. This book was released on 1979 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This an informative book on identifying the different kinds of mushrooms from the west. Mushrooms have attracted and intrigued mankind through the ages. Their hallucinogenic properties of others, contrasting so sharply with the delicious flavors that certain wholesome varieties bring to our tables, all lead us to view these strange plants with special curiosity and wonder. Most people seem to want to know first if a strange mushroom is edible or dangerous. This small book is a guide to some of the most common mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest, and it identifies some of these as safe varieties for the beginner to eat. It also tries to go beyond that to generate awareness of the various vital roles the mushrooms play in the community of life and to spark an interest in their fascinating variations and adaptations.The full story of the importance of mushrooms in the plant world is far from being understood today, and only a little of it can be stated here. The mushrooms that you see is a 'fruiting body', roughly equivalent to the fruit of other plants. The vegetative part of the mushroom plant is a thready mass hidden within the material it feeds upon - a log, cow dung, buried wood, an insect pupa or whatever. Mushrooms do not contain or need green chlorophyll, the substance which, in higher plants, captures the energy of sunlight to create biological energy. Mushrooms, like all the great groups of fungi to which they belong, get their energy second-hand. Many form beneficial partnerships with the trees of our forests and are essential to their well-being. No mushroom is either good or bad in the natural community of life.
